Just received my latest ebay score for my truck. a brand new pair of JBA shorty headers. Called JBA and they quoted me almost $800 for the headers from them. Got these headers off ebay for $260 shipped to my door!!




itll probably be a while before i put them in but at least i have them. this brings me to a total savings of about $700 on 3 mods for my truck. YAY EBAY

 

Why buy headers that don't benefit performance ? Probably why you got a good deal

Seriously, you MIGHT see very little gains on the Dyno, but there's been Dyno's posted here - Results - NO gains w/shorties.. Just seems like allot of work/expense for nothing..

They look nice tho.

 

lol i didnt want to be the first jerk to say it so i let jbrew do it!

granted they should help with tone, theres very minimal performance gains.

although i must say, congrats on the price you got em for.

 

Not everything is about HP. If I wanted HP I would have bought a Mustang. I do wnt to know how the install goes. I assume it will mount to the factory exhaust and you will not have to mod the cats.

 

Sorry, no luv for shorties around here

 

I am sure lucky has been here long enough to make his own choice for his own reason. Must everthing be so negitive.

 

pointless arguments begin.

 

crash makes a good point, its not all about hp. i have a 700hp twin turbo mustang in my garage. when i feel the need for more power ill drive that around.

anyways, the shorty v long tube debate has been going around for years. not looking for 50rwhp with this mod. id be happy with 5rwhp and a better exhaust note. already have a catback installed, soon to be headers and then changing cats is next. headers are just one more link in the chain.

 

ah so it is the tone your looking for, like i said.

 

I guess I don't understand ? Why not have both tone and power/torque if it can be had.

I don't have to understand do I ?

Good luck LT - I think Matt Adams has a shorty install on his site. That's the guy who wrote the plug change in the tech articles. I believe you can get to his site from there in your interested.

 

jbrew, LT requires a visit to a muffler shop. my only guess?

 

have a link?
